1

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

360°

90°

45°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

If side a = 2, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
10
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 82
c2 = 4 + 64
c2 = 68
c = \( \sqrt{68} \)


4

If a = c = 5, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 80°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
20
72
54
45

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 9
a = 45


5

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

diameter

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
